作者简介

1978年出生于漢城,梨花女子大学社会学系毕业。担任《PD手册》《不满ZERO》《Live今日早晨》等时事类节目编剧十餘年,对社会现象及问题十分敏锐,见解透彻,擅长以写实又能引起广泛共鸣的故事手法,呈现庶民日常中的真实悲剧。

2011年以长篇小说《倾听》获得“文学村小说奖”;2016年以长篇小说《为了高马那智》获得“黄山伐青年文学奖”;2017年以《82年生的金智英》获“年度作家奖”。

本书是在2014年底发生的“妈虫”事件后,作者感到社会对女性、特别是身为母亲的女性的苛责,深受触动之下动笔写成。“妈虫”是结合英文“mom”和“虫”的韩文新造单字,用于贬低无法管教在公共场合大声喧闹幼童的年轻母亲。这个新兴名词虽然用于指称部分管教无方的妈妈,但不分青红皂白使用在大部分母亲身上,造成了普遍的恐惧和伤痛。

她说:

因为身为女性而受到各种限制与差别待遇,

导致没有办法获得与付出相匹配的成就,

甚至认为那是因为自己无能而深感自责的女性,

希望她们在阅读本书之后,可以获得一丝安慰。
